Common hemostatic regulators synthesized by endothelial cells in response to environmental cues.
Protein | Function | |
---|---|---|
Prothrombotic Proteins | Von Willebrand Factor (vWF) | Large multimeric glycoprotein that binds to platelets and proteins during thrombus formation34 |
Tissue Factor (TF) | Surface protein expressed by activated endothelial cells to initiate coagulation cascade162 | |
Plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1) | Inhibitor of tPA12 | |
Antithrombotic Proteins | A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with a thrombospondin type I motif, member 10 (ADAMTS-13) | Enzyme that cleaves vWF141 |
Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) | Major inhibitor of TF, Factor Xa, and thrombin162 | |
Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) | Regulator of fibrinolysis12 | |
Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) | enzyme that catalyzes the production of nitric oxide which inhibits platelet aggregation161 | |
Activated protein C (APC) | Glycoprotein that proteolytically inactivates factor Va and VIIIa to reduce thrombin formation56 |
